As wind blows it generates kinetic energy, which is energy from movement. This turns the blades on a turbine, which then causes a shaft (drive shaft) within the system to rotate (view diagram below).

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

2025 was a difficult year for clean energy, with major U.S. tax rollbacks and weak European auctions leading to widespread cancellations of solar, wind, and storage projects. Policy adjustments are ...
